The P 5's like to talk about not playing mid majors, but it will never
happen as they need a few patsies on their schedules. Oh wait, my mistake, that
is why they added teams like Maryland , TCU, and Utah to their conferences. The
P 5 created their own internal "mid majors" to beat up on.

Don't kid yourself; the Utes weren't taken to provide
competition, the Utes were taken to provide a convenient punching bag for the
big boys of the PAC 12 to pad their conference win totals - in only three
seasons, the Utes have already provided 18 such wins to their conference
opponents.

Was it just 5 years ago, or so, that Utah fans were complaining about being
"left out" by the BCS conferences? And now that they got a golden
ticket, many of them are trying to close the door behind them.

Utah
had a couple of great seasons over the last decade. Congratulations. Take
those two season out, and are you really better than BYU overall? If you were
capable of being honest, the answer would be "no".

But why would we take those 2 seasons away in comparing
byu and Utah? Such a silly proposal. Ya, and if we 40 points away from
Utah's score against byU in 2010 byU would have won. Oh wait, make that 45
points.

If Ute fans think the PAC 12 choose Utah over a BYU because of football....well,
I don't know what say. BYU wasn't chosen for one reason and one
reason only, their culture; being a religion based school and refusal to play on
Sunday! That is it! Just look at the P 12 Schools, some of the most liberal in
the Country. Like I posted earlier, The P 5 and not just the PAC 12 have padded
their schedules by adding patsies they can beat up on, while at the same time
having the minimum 12 teams needed to have a Championship game (and more money)!
Until those teams can prove otherwise, "the proof is in the pudding."

Of course BYU is the victim. The Big-12, BIG-10, ACC, and SEC must hate
BYU's culture as well."

Uhhh...where have you been? BYU
isn't a victim, but all the conferences you mention (including the PAC!)
are money grubbing, semi-pro, worldly institutions. Don't know where your
values align, but I certainly have my suspicions.

It's not fair to take away Utah's two seasons for
comparison's sake, but I guess it is fair to take away Utah's and
BYU's 2 best seasons. Even then BYU wins the overall in top-25 finishes,
10+ win seasons, national awards, etc.

And to those who are
suggesting that Utah was picked over BYU because of football superiority:
I've got some private coastline property to sell you in Lichtenstein.

"If that was true why didn't the PAC take UNLV....or New
Mexico?"

If it were all about football that would be a good
question. However we all know that BYU's lack of invitation to the PAC is
about a lot more than just football. Also, if ESPN had done a survey in
2009-2010 if Utah should join the PAC, I wonder if 74% would have said
"Yes".
